he needs to get rid of the whole cam newton stuff.
he needs to keep the cockiness in check.
he needs to avoid the political mess.
he needs to remember its ok to get rid of the ball sometimes.
he needs to stop taking every little critcism to heart.
just go out and play joe. focus on winning, being as great as possible and let the other nonsense go. it aint important and doesn't help you at all. burrow can be tom brady level if he stays focused on what's really important.
I think Michael Jordon showed that taking every criticism to heart can be very motivating. Maybe it is not the best thing for one on a personal level (cue his Hall of fame speech), but professionally I think it works for many athletes.
I did like Michael Jordan staying out of inundating us with his political points of view, despite criticism from those who assumed he would take their side (but who knows, he might have taken the opposite side). As such, he was an ambassador to all fans, regardless of their political persuasions. His area of expertise was basketball, not politics, and he made the NBA popular for previously casual fans like me. LeBron and his often-terribly-uninformed-and-hypocritical opinions has had the opposite effect on me and many fans.
